Unfortunate in that it all went Pete Tong in a part of the country that isn't exactly wall to wall with airfields of any description. Having tooled around there for 3 years in a C150 doing aerial work, I know it well. Surprised though that they ran out of fuel so quickly on a flight from Cumbernauld, even with the unintentional diversion. The C150 will do a 3.5 hr flight quite happily 2 up on full tanks.
One of the pilots interviewed on the local news praising the flying school involved for the high standard of their training. Couldn't tell if there was a hint of sarcasm in there or not.
